I be lost. Additionally, Ms. Jones related her support for having multiple sizes of
parking stalls for the residents (compact and large).
I
Committee Member Bonney requested clarification on why the term "breaking
off' was used when referencing the site when it already has a separate
zoning, and where the proposed large vehicle parking would be. Mr. Kirk
related that when the Tentative Tract Map was completed, they would have.a
recorded separation between the larger mass of open space and the smaller
residential zoned site, which would officially break it off from the whole, and
that the proposed sites are located in the rear of the development.
i
G
Committee Member Lopez expressed a concern about losing units for parking
and questioned the possibility of sharing parking with the offices and J. Serra
across Camino Capistrano. Mr. Kirk responded that staff would investigate
I the possibility, but the agreements necessary to share the parking would be
complicated as the offices and J. Serra would have nothing reciprocal in
return.
Committee Member Ratcliffe questioned why the multi-use sport court could
not be removed so that more parking could be provided, and if the project had
looked into pervious concrete for the roadways. Laura Stokes,
Housing/Redevelopment Coordinator related that the sports court was
necessary for qualifying for California Tax Credits which require that the
project provide recreation for all ages expected to live within the development,
-- - and that the pervious concrete was investigated, but did not have the desired
water quality impact due to proximity to the creek and the site size being to
small for significant impact.
Committee Member Solt expressed a concern with allowing large vehicle
parking and requested additional regulations on such vehicles be included
within the development's CCR's and additionally requested that as much
mitigation of adverse effects occur prior to final approval, so that the
development moves forward with a positive backing.
There was no action on this item; therefore, the Committee thanked Mr. Kirk
for his work and efforts with the project.

window signs, expressing a preference for newspaper notices and
neighborhood mailings, and referencing the limiting factors of sign regulations
by the City and HOAs and potential vandalism and theft of said signs.
Chairperson Jones also recommended that the single family homes be
combined with condos/townhomes but then separate the categories into sizes
opposed to geographical locations.
The committee voted 7-0 to send the guidelines back to the sub-committee to
amend/review the identified areas.
2. Request of the Planning Commission to Amend (Title 9, Chapter 2.331)
Mobilehome Park Conversions, Closures, and Cessation of Use Update
(Laura Stokes, Housing/Redevelopment Coordinator).
Ms. Stokes summarized the staff report.
Ms. Sally Rather of Capistrano Terrace Mobile Home Park expressed her
pleasure with the Committee's attempts to update the code, but feels that
changes made to the ordinance after the Committee approved of the
ordinance were offensive and does not wish the process to update the code
should stop completely, although she understands the complications with the
council direction.
Committee members Lopez and Solt expressed concern with halting the
amendment, and would only like to postpone the process and start again at a
later date.
The Committee member Bonney motioned to receive and file the report and
bring the item back for further discussion of the amendment at the November
